Yesterday in worship a little guy from our congregation wanted to sing a song. He’s done it before. Most of the songs he sings fall on the easy side. But yesterday he wanted to sing this song about sisters and brothers. It’s a great song and he did an amazing job. The message of the…
Have you ever been frustrated with the mess that happens in life? Ever angered by the number of people mistreated in our world? Ever think something needs to be done for the thousands of children dying of starvation in the world? Ever ask why doesn’t someone do something? Ever wonder why God hasn’t done something…

In the case of the person who calls themselves a Christian, that person is Jesus. There’s no secret about it. The follower of Jesus wants to clothe themselves in the things of…
It’s a prayer that we have a really hard time meaning. We use the words as a great platitude but actually wanting to apply them is a whole other story! We think we’ve got life pretty well under control even when we admit things are spiraling into a chaotic mess. In the Lord’s Prayer, probably…
